the notion that all those involved in this mess are making decisions based on simple incompetence is more reassuring than the idea Alinsky tactics are in play.

According to Alinsky, the organizer ? especially a paid organizer from outside ? must first overcome suspicion and establish credibility. Next the organizer must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. An organizer has to attack apathy and disturb the prevailing patterns of complacent community life where people have simply come to accept a bad situation. Alinsky would say, ?The first step in community organization is community disorganization.?

Through a process combining hope and resentment, the organizer tries to create a ?mass army? that brings in as many recruits as possible from local organizations, churches, services groups, labor unions, corner gangs, and individuals.
I especially took note of this one, for the brain-dead who react/reacted to every political criticism of Obama with cries of racism:

Rule 5: Ridicule is man?s most potent weapon. It?s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

for those unaware, Saul Alinsky is credited as Obama's biggest influence in his community organizer "career".
